Project 'REPRO'
Its been going on for around a year and a half now, along side the pain of neck and arm this has added an even bigger pain in my life!! But there is life at the end of the tunnel, I'm crossing my fingers while typing this. Project 'REPRO' a 66 Vespa VBB with PX 150 engine, polished & ported with a 30mm carbie and race pipe, flat black finish with race seat. The front end is needing full rebuild with Rally hub/linkage etc as the brake/hub set up it had was shite, all be it NEW! PAH! it was out of true and warped, we tried 2 new hubs and still shite. Derek from Scooterlabs has had the nitemare of rebuilding the front end with 10' fork and the refurbed Rally bits. Striping is coming next, hopefully to finish it off so it can be registered, a wee bit of nostalgic pinestripe to finish of the look - RETRO would have been nice but 80's inspired psychobilly scooterboy called for 'REPRO'.

Love the matt black, that scoot looks fantastic. I love the fold away mirror too, I keep bumping mine and it's a pain in the arse to get right again.
ReplyDeleteGood luck getting it registered, I had no problems with mine, but they dont get too many old Vespas out here in the sticks.
Thanks for showing a bit of interest in my blog, the old 71 Veloce is a work in progress, doing the wiring at the moment and it's a bloody mess to say the least.
Word of warning. the bloody scooter and working on it is addictive and a load of fun, enjoy.
